Um, wait. Ultimate irony, hypocrisy, or just some technical dumb-assery on my part? Very strange that the embed doesn’t appear to be working; even though the YouTube tools to create embed work as normal.
WTF? Cannot Display Embed Above?

Huntsville, The “Mighty Eagle” has Landed. NASA Robotic Lander Development Project.
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/t9i66SHc9WQ/594
NASA successfully completed the final flight in a series of tests of a new robotic lander prototype at the Redstone Test Center’s propulsion test facility on the U.S. Army Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. The team steadily increased the lander’s flight profile, starting by hovering the lander — dubbed Mighty Eagle — at 3 feet, then 30 feet and finally a record 100-foot flight test.

Future Shock: A Primer from the Modern Father of Futuretechture
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/TD0530VWe2g/588
Totally embarrassed by the depiction of exhuberant gleaming youth in this clip, with whom I clearly identified too strongly at far too impressionable an age, some 40 years ago. Wonder how I got "this way?" By believing what Toffler explained and yet still being subjected to the very vestigial technium / techonomy that he describes, herein, a lifetime ago. It was like, "Here's everything that's most broken about the world, go do something to try and help fix it." Consider this as Exhibit A for the argument that The Singularity Already Happened and Is In The Process of Happening; marking the year 2029 more like the time at which a critical mass of 8 billion humans will look back, defining that new default reality.
Toffler: "All of us think about the future, but the futurist devotes more time to thinking about the long term future, not just what’s going to happen next." "We go around the world talking to people who are, in fact, MAKING the future. So this is not some mystical exercise in Nostradamus style prediction, but an attempt to find out who are the people that are changing, or will be changing our lives in the years and decades ahead." "It occured to us that when you go to a foriegn culture, you’re bombarded by strange cues, by visual, sound and other inputs that may be different from the ones in your own culture and that are hard to understand and some people get truly disoriented, and upset, and sociologist and anthropologists call it culture shock." "What happens, if a new environment comes to you, where you are, and comes to you rapidly? So that you don’t understand IT’S inputs, and it’s CUES? And the answer to use was, if you can have culture shock by relocating to another location in space; you could have Future Shock by, in effect, relocating in time. A future comes toward you, that you don’t understand." "You also hear people than ever complaining about being time harrassed, time squeezed, time over-worked, too many hours, and I think everybody feels this pressure. You’re under pressure usually to make more and more decisions in shorter and shorter intervals of time." "And guess what? There’s a limit beyond which we don’t make good decisions. If we push ourselves to decide quickly about things that are terribly complex, the chance are, we’ll make some serious mistakes; and we do. The hope was, computers will solve this problem." "The computer does simplify decision making, but it complexifies everything else, so you have to make more complex decisions, anyway. The computer as a source of complexity, as well as a machine for dealing with complexity has not yet been fully understood." "Technology and Social Change are all interrelated. The industrial revolution changed, not just the technologies of production, it meant that people stopped being peasants, they became urban industrial people. Totally different value systems, totally different forms of social organization, new institutions. They invented department stores. They invented post offices. Social inventions, not just technological inventions." Ed. Note: don’t miss "the miracle of HIGH SPEED wire communication is commonplace today, lift a telephone receiver and the world is at your fingertips." at 5:48. LOL! "It’s the civilization that gave rise to the world that most of us watching this were born into. The world of mass production, mass consumption, mass education, mass media, mass entertainment, mass recreation, and in some countries, Weapons of Mass Destruction." (Hipster Hints: he’s not talking about Iran or Iraq, homies.) "In that kind of a world, conformity is idealized; you are supposed to be like everyone else; and that is because it is economically advantageous for that system to produce people who are prepared to spend their lives doing work on the predicate; basically unthinking work, on assembly lines; or in offices built to operate like assembly lines. That product of the industrial revolution is not just an economy, it’s a way of life." Oh, we’re sooo much smarter now, right? :-) LOLCATSROTFLXPALADOCIOUS!

Does Matter Emerge from Music? Are Individual Human Minds Constituent to a Single Global Supraorganism?
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/jFYKIpThVpg/544
From The Music Instinct: Science and Song (2009, PBS). "Music is written into our very being."
"In a sense what we’re saying is that if string theory is correct, at the heart of matter is music." "One of the recent developments in the last few years is that we are moving from a study of the individual brain into the study of a society of brains and music serves to synchronize our brain states."

And possibly, the movement could spark the turning point of our lifetimes. The only thing preventing a major cultural breakthrough is the meanspirited recalcitrance of a brutal default reality, living in demented denial of the abundance we’ve created. Today, we live today in the techno-utopia envisioned by America’s founders over two centuries ago. We did it. We have arrived. The question remains, as a species, can we adapt to our own ultimate emancipation?

“A wise man knows that he has only one enemy – himself.” – Ben Hecht And from Sunil Bali: Last week, Warren Buffet, the world’s third richest man celebrated his 80th birthday. Buffet was asked to give just one piece of advice to those aspiring to achieve wealth and happiness. His reply was, “The one piece of advice I can give you is, do what turns you on. Do something that if you had all the money in the world, you’d still be doing it. You’ve got to have a reason to jump out of bed in the morning.”

March Madness: Market Edition
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/VYDD2f0jEaA/468
CNN can only turn a blind eye for so long. Thousands of New Yorkers protesting against budget cuts on the streets of the Big Apple. They marched to Wall Street demanding the government tax the rich instead of cutting social programs. Are we witnessing in Wisconsin and New York the beginings of a domestic democratic domino effect in sync with the one flipping the script across the middle east?

Steve Jobs prepping for his first ever TV interview
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/3nbJujMS3iY/417
For Apple fans who just can’t get enough, “there surfaced a video of the first television interview with Apple’s founder Steve Jobs. This video is probably taken in 1978, when Jobs was in his twenties. In this short clip you see the young Jobs (clearly nervous) preparing for his first time on national television” (YouTube).
Paul Laughton recounts his version of “The [Apple II] system [that] was hand delivered by Steve Jobs for use in the development projects. The Disk II disk drives with the are serial numbered 3 and 4.” The Computer History Museum adds, “Apple Computer (now known as Apple, Inc.) was a major force in the personal computer revolution that took place in the 1970s and ’80s. Learning about its history teaches us about competing visions of the future and how companies made decisions during this exciting time. The Computer History Museum presents here two special documents from Apple Computer during the early days of personal computing. ” More recently, Gizmodo relays, “Apple co-founder and Gizmodo Spiritual Mascot Steve Wozniak made a hilarious appearance on Big Bang Theory. Here’s what he had to say about Steve Jobs, black turtlenecks and Apple II.”

A New Kind of Science – Stephen Wolfram
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EthernetTV/~3/CmHA-_ieA1s/
“Back in 1981, I had the idea that, perhaps, just as I’d been able to find primitives for computations people want to do, I might somehow also be able to find primitives for what nature does. The crucial thing that I realized is that those primitives don’t have to be based only on traditional mathematical constructs. I mean, if one’s going to be able to do theoretical science, one has to assume that nature follows some kind of definite rules. But why do those rules involve only the kinds of constructs that have been invented in human mathematics? Can’t the rules be somehow more general? Perhaps the kinds of rules that can be embodied in programs might actually be what nature is using.” — Stephen Wolfram
